Fresh broccoli, cauliflower, apple, onion, celery, and green onions with dried cranberries, feta cheese and nuts make for a spectacular, healthy salad dress in a lemon honey dressing.
Dressing:
1/4 c. olive or avocado oil
3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 lemon
2 t. honey or maple syrup
1 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. fine salt
1/4 t. black pepper
3/4 c. mayonnaise
4–5 c. broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 1/2 – 3 c. cauliflower florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 medium apple, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c. lightly salted roasted almonds, roughly chopped (or walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds)
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once combined, add the mayonnaise; continue whisking until smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
Salad: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cauliflower, apple, red onion, celery, green onion, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and almonds.
Pour the dressing over the salad; toss until everything is well coated. Refrigerate. For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that the veggies marinate in the dressing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
